I am in an internship with Curtis Farms in Lost Creek, Utah. My job is to do anything at the farm that needs to be done, but as of right now I am breaking horses and cleaning up for winter snow. My favorite thing about working there is that they work around my wrestling scedual and that i get to sit a horse every day.
